Our Robots

Each season brings a NEW game and a NEW engineering challenge!

From the first sketches to building and programming, our robot represents months of hard work and problem-solving. We test and improve our design throughout the process. Team members specialize in Mechanical systems, Programming, Marketing, and Strategy to build a competitive robot that shows our technical skills and creativity.

JUNEBUG (2026)

The Chargers’ latest FIRST Robotics Competition robot, affectionately codenamed “Junebug,” was designed to compete in the 2026 FRC season competition known as “Rebuilt.” Junebug features a maximum “fuel” game-piece capacity of fifty and can fire off a volley in just a few seconds, thanks to her large-capacity hopper and wide-barrel dispenser.

K.Y.L.E. (2025)

Inspired by the 2025 FIRST Robotics Competition challenge “Reefscape,” K.Y.L.E. stands for “Keep Your Limits Expanding.”

K.Y.L.E. was built to retrieve and place PVC “coral” tubes onto his season’s game’s “reef” structure.

Flunky (2023)

Flunky was our robot for the 2024 season, “CRESCENDO.” The team began utilizing CAD more extensively during this season, which helped us design the mechanism that placed game pieces, or foam rings, into the “Amp.”
